Has anyone made any BTC / won the BTC lottery off one of these yet?

Is the "technobit patch for cgminer" integrated into the official source code for cgminer yet ?

No, that won't happen. You need to apply the patch manually.

Surprising that Technobit requires their customers to do this rather than for them to arrange for it to be done just once.
Can you give me a link to the instructions.  Sorry if you have already published this.

Ahh, sorry about that. Seem like dropbox can not be used anymore for wget command.

Try

Code:

wget www.tbdice.org/100_hex.patch

Thanks, that worked ok.

What is the current price on these? Has it been lowered to reflect the new low price of BTC?

Yes, it's been lowered but not much 

Without controller is 65 EUR & with controller is 88 EUR. http://technobit.eu/index.php?id_category=19&controller=category&id_lang=1

It need to be no more han $50 shipped to be of any use. Otherwise it's just a fancy paper weight.

I'm waiting my dices from december 

[cshelswell]

Seriously though back to my earlier question is anyone making money off these or won the "lottery"? Or is it more just a hobby miner?

Gentlemen, I have a question about the firmware version for the TP-Link MR3020 which technobit released. (The DICE version, of course)
It seems the startup scripts might be messed up? The dropbear SSH interface doesn't seem to launch even when disabling and re-enabling it's auto start option, it has to be enabled manually.

Also, I'll be sharing shortly a post regarding my experience in enhancing DICE's cooling.

Disable the DHCP option on the tplink.

You are doing something wrong. Just install dice tplink fw using tftp to reset everything inside tplink or use web upgrade without keep settings
Ssh works for sure

That's what I did in the first place.

That solved it, thanks!

Also, here's the thing about the cooling. With the fact in mind that some of us live in tropical / extremely bloody hot countries, I've been pondering about adding a low power exhaust fan to it, so that I could make use of the default 915 frequency and 720 mv settings without causing a lot of hardware errors.
I bought an ultraquiet Akasa 80mm fan, which came along with screws and a 3-pin to 4-pin connector, along with a 3pin connector if you still want to monitor it's speed.
At maximum speed, I could barely hear any noise from it. It was also a -perfect- fit for the techobit's case, even the screws fit perfectly.
